Bonnie fans: This is the weirdest thing! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Hello, all!

Okay, this is SO weird!

I was just watching the movie "Return to Me", which Bonnie Hunt wrote, directed, produced, and acted in!

It's an awesome movie, but I hadn't seen it in a long time. The last time I saw it was before LWB came on.

Anyway, I just realized for the first time today that there were SO many actors in that movie that are the stars in LWB!

Let's see:

Bonnie
Maryanne (Gloria)
Chris (Marv)
Holly
David

...AND

...the Italian singer guy from last Friday's episode, Freddie Knuckles (or something like that!

)!!!

It's bizarre! I think that Bonnie has her own little world or something! Once she likes you, you're in!

If you haven't seen the movie, check it out! WEIRD!!!

Later, dudes.

its not all that weird, Bonnie Hunt is NOTORIOUS for hiring her friends and sometimes family to appear in things she's working on. In fact when LWB started to be developed Bonnie said that she had one choice and one choice only for an actor to play her husband, that choice is Mark Derwin, who currently plays Mark. Unfortunetly he was on contract at "One Life To Live" so they got someone else to play mark. But when Derwin got out of his "One Life" contract they let the other actor go and hired Derwin. Intresting side note, the other actors name was Brian Kerwin.
